Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of underground leak plugging equipment, and in particular relates to an RFID underground leak plugging equipment with a high recognition rate. Background Art

[0002] RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), also known as wireless radio frequency identification, is an automatic identification technology that integrates computer, radio and communication technologies. It is mainly composed of a transmitting identification system and an electronic tag. The transmitting identification system is responsible for sending and receiving signals, and the electronic tag is used as a beacon.

[0003] RFID is currently a special technology of Weatherford in the field of oil well tools, which can realize wireless transmission of ground commands, greatly improve work efficiency, simplify processes and save costs. In addition to Jet Stream circulating bypass valve, this technology is also widely used in RipTide reamer, AutoFrac production stimulation system, I-Stim production stimulation sleeve, Annular safety valve, CrossStream reverse cementing system, TRIP completion system, OptiPkr packer, OptiROSS sleeve, etc.

[0004] In the existing downhole plugging equipment equipped with RFID technology, there is still a problem that the RFID moves in the high-speed flowing mud, resulting in the RFID antenna being unable to capture the signal emitted by the RFID tag. Now there is a need for an RFID downhole plugging equipment that can achieve a high recognition rate. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problem of low recognition rate of RFID tags in the prior art, the present invention provides an RFID downhole plugging device with high recognition rate, the purpose of which is to improve the recognition rate of RFID tags in the process of drilling plugging.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A high recognition rate RFID underground leak plugging device, comprising: Drill barrel: a cavity is provided inside the drill barrel, a tag channel is provided inside the cavity, a spiral tube is provided at the lower end of the tag channel, an RFID antenna is provided in the middle of the spiral tube, and an outlet end of the tag channel is connected to the interior of the drill barrel; The RFID antenna is connected to a reader / writer, the reader / writer is connected to a PLC control board, and the PLC control board is connected to a side-pass valve and a vertical valve.

[0007] By adopting the above scheme, after the RFID tag is dropped, the RFID moves downward along the tag channel in the drill barrel, and when passing through the spiral tube, it can move downward in a spiral along the trajectory of the spiral tube. During the movement of the spiral trajectory, it can be verified that the signal interaction is carried out within the range of the electromagnetic induction of the RFID antenna, thereby improving the signal recognition rate of the RFID tag, and avoiding the problem of low RFID tag signal recognition rate caused by the signals received and sent by the RFID tag being absorbed by the fluid, moving too fast in the drill barrel, and being reflected by the metal drill barrel in the traditional technology. The PLC control board can receive the signal of the reader and writer, and control the vertical valve and the side-pass valve in the drill barrel to realize the opening and closing of the side-pass and the straight-pass.

[0008] The spiral tube is made of non-metal material.

[0009] The spiral tube does not need to withstand the pressure of high-speed mud, so a non-metallic spiral tube is used. This solution can avoid the influence of metal materials on RFID tag signals and reduce the weight of the spiral tube.

[0010] The spiral tube is formed by bending a hollow tube.

[0011] The side-pass valve and the vertical valve both include: Waterproof box: a motor is fixedly arranged inside the waterproof box, and a valve plate is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the motor; A water-isolating ring is fixedly arranged at the connection between the output shaft of the motor and the waterproof box.

[0012] By adopting the above scheme, the opening and closing of the side valve and the vertical valve can be controlled by the motor, wherein the waterproof box can prevent the mud in the drill tube from damaging the motor inside it, which is specifically achieved through the waterproof ring at the connection between the motor output shaft and the waterproof box. In this structure, the output shaft contacts and rubs against the waterproof ring during operation, and blocks the mud from entering the waterproof box under the action of compression.

[0013] A mounting plate is fixedly arranged on the top of the waterproof box, one end of the mounting plate is fixedly arranged on the top of the waterproof box, and the other end is fixedly arranged on the side of the lock unit.

[0014] The material of the water-isolating ring is rubber.

[0015] The waterproof box is made of 304 stainless steel.

[0016] The motor is a stepping motor.

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. After dropping the RFID tag, the RFID moves downward along the tag channel in the drill barrel. When passing through the spiral tube, it can move downward in a spiral along the trajectory of the spiral tube. During the movement of the spiral trajectory, it can be verified that the signal interaction is carried out within the range of the electromagnetic induction of the RFID antenna, thereby improving the signal recognition rate of the RFID tag and avoiding the problem of low RFID tag signal recognition rate caused by the signals received and sent by the RFID tag being absorbed by the fluid, moving too fast in the drill barrel, and being reflected by the metal drill barrel in the traditional technology. The PLC control board can receive the signal of the reader and writer, and control the vertical valve and side-pass valve in the drill barrel to realize the opening and closing of the side-pass and straight-pass.

[0018] 2. Since the spiral tube does not need to withstand the pressure of high-speed mud, a non-metallic spiral tube is used. This solution can avoid the influence of metal materials on RFID tag signals and reduce the weight of the spiral tube.

[0019] 3. The opening and closing of the side valve and the vertical valve can be controlled by a motor, wherein the waterproof box can prevent the mud in the drill tube from damaging the motor inside it, which is specifically achieved through a water-blocking ring at the connection between the motor output shaft and the waterproof box. In this structure, the output shaft contacts and rubs against the water-blocking ring during operation, and blocks the mud from entering the waterproof box under the action of compression.

[0023] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 2 The present invention is described in detail.

[0025] The spiral tube 7 is made of non-metal material.

[0026] The spiral tube 7 is formed by bending a hollow tube.

[0027] The side-pass valve 5 and the vertical valve 6 both include: Waterproof box 11: A motor 12 is fixedly disposed inside the waterproof box 11, and a valve plate 16 is fixedly disposed on an output shaft 14 of the motor 12; A water-blocking ring 15 is fixedly provided at the connection between the output shaft 14 of the motor 12 and the waterproof box 11 .

It should be noted that the technology and principle of the PLC control board 4 to control the opening and closing of the valve are common knowledge of those skilled in the art, and are not the innovation of the present invention, and will not be elaborated in detail here.
